It's tough to say whether Decimate will be preempted by Demonic Sacrifice or not. Depending on functionality and the raw numbers we simply don't have at this point one can imagine a Decimate build potentially laying down some significant damage.
As it stands I haven't seen a cooldown or mana cost listed for Decimate. If we make the dangerous assumption that this is intentional, then the only limiting factor is the mana/soul shard cost of the spell you are using and blocking out the spell school.
A potential spell rotation would therefore be to, following an initial Immolate, open with a Decimated Shadow Bolt, cast Incinerate a few times and repeat. For additional chances to proc Molten Core, one might take Imp Corruption and throw it on before one of the Decimated Shadow Bolts.
This could potentially result in competitive damage to a DS build, without needing to lose out on Blood Pact and Soul Link.
Of course, any number of things could screw it up. Decimate could have a cooldown, it might invoke the global CD when used, the Chaos Damage might lose out on damage boosting effects like Imp Shadow Bolt or Curse of Elements, etc.
